Tried to find screen-shots from Force Commander to prove my argument about the AT-AA presence on Hoth, when I clicked on a four year old link to an article on the OS that had this interesting little gem (emphasis mine):

The fight for galactic freedom didn't end with the destruction of the second Death Star. Force Commander continues approximately two years past that event to the liberation of the Imperial capitol planet of Coruscant as seen in the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi.

So the part with Coruscantians celebrating and knocking things over actually took place two whole years after Endor!

How come nobody noticed this before?

They were celebrating the death of the Emperor, etc, etc.

They just don't show the Crowd Control Stormtroopers lighting up their flamethrowers for crowd dispersal... that happens immediately after they cut away.

Ahh, so that makes this info untrue then...?

Well according to the X-Wing novels. Coruscant did fall to the rebels approx. 2 and a half years after Endor. Buy according to X-Wing: Iron Fist the RotJ scene takes place right after endor, when Rebel groups hacked into the COrscant systems and diplayed the DSII exploding.

Iron Fist also tells us that shortly after RotJ cuts away from this scene, Stormtroppers arrive to "restore order" meaing opening up gull auto on the crowds with blasters set to kill.

This was to avenge the "dishonor" of "Corporal Bob" (the one seen being crowd surfed, rumor has it he peed his armor before the ordeal ended)?

wouldnt you?

you know, this brings to mind the question of riots on coruscant. what looks like an entire planet cheering (rotj), may in fact just be your local cross burning.

Im betting its the alien sector =p

No, it was becuase these guys were pulling down statues of the emperor and generally being bolshy.

I always thought the scene was obviously based on the celebrations of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. However the EU apologists are saying that it was really more like the "celebration" in Iraq when Saddam's troops were defeated?

Of course Lucas filmed his scene a whole six years earlier... *conspiracy music plays*
